The only pond in the northern Pensacola Mountains, it is of much interest to biologists. The pond was discovered and briefly investigated in December 1957 by a US-IGY party from Ellsworth Station. The name is in association with Forlidas Ridge and was suggested by Arthur B. Ford of USGS following geological work in the area, 1978-79. 801: 724: 374:. An ice-free spur lying south of Clemons Spur and Forlidas Ridge. Named by US-ACAN, at the suggestion of USGS party leader Arthur B. Ford, after Private First Class Joseph W. Preslik, a member of the United States Army Aviation Detachment with the USGS Pensacola Mountains survey, 1965-66. 583:. A rock ridge trending north–south and marking the east extent of Davis Valley.
